The Chief Tells of tho Attempts Made
to Shove the Queer"
WASHINGTON, Dec S,-The annual report
of the Chief of the Secret Service di-
vision of the Treasury was made public
yesterday. 1t shows that there were 1856
persons arrested by the officers of the
service during the past fiscal year for
violation of the laws against tcounterfeiting,
ETC. OF this number seventy were convicted
and sentenced to imprisonment The re-
port says that the counterfeiting now being
done is principally the work OF Italians, who
operate IN bands in different portions of the
country. The report refers to the fact that
all but two of the many skilled
operators arrested since the war
for counterfeiting United States bonds
are now at liberty, and says they may be
expected to resume their nefarious opera
tions at any time. A statement is made
that counterfeiters Mt present seem to be
devoting their attention almost exclusively
to silver coin. 1t is said, however. that the
work is much inferior to previous efforts In

TolLER's CHRISTMAS HYMN.

Ihovc faith that holds my life
Above the slough OF sin;
That stills tho angry waves Of strife.
And gives me peace within;
It is the story Of the morn,
From Heavens inspired pen,
That tells TO all how Christ was born
To walk the earth with men.
The shepherds meath the starry silly
Heard, far beyond their ken,
The glory sung to God on high,
Good will and peace to men;
They saw the dawn in roseate light
Sweep back the age's gloom,
And Heavens love cleave pure and bright
The pathway from the tomb.
Not for the mobiles purple clad,
Not for the kingly crowned,
/ Game Christ from God, with tidings glad
I That our salvation found;
sHe sought the lowly, poor, oppressed;
In howell hut and cave;
And made the toiling millions blessed,
In triumph DER the grave.
As Moses smotc the rock OF old
He touched the human heart,
And from its center, hard and cold,
Saw loves sweet waters start;
His emblem was the palm, not rod,
And. oh He taught us then,
The way TO win the love of God
Is through the love of men.
Oh brother toiler, lift your head
Nor heed earth's cruel blows;
The Christ who ate our bitter bread,
And sorrowed DER our woes,
is yet our friend of humble birth,
And holds His blessings nigh,
For He who shared out homes on eartn,
Has homes for us on high.

ANOTHER BUSINESS BLOCK.

Fifty of the enterprising young bust
ness men of the city have formed them
selves into an association under the
cognomen of The Young Mems Invest
ments Association and will become In
corporated. The object of the organiza-
ton is to secure a good investment for
earnings which might otherwise be
squandered, the scheme having origin
ated from the conversation of several
gentlemen as to plans for saving money
that has hitherto been thrown away.
The plan, in its details, is something
unique. 1t is proposed to charge the
members $25 each to begin with and col
lect at the end of each month dues to
the amount of ten cents per day. Al
the end of five years the stock will be
considered paid for and each share will
amount to about S207. 1t is at present
the plan that no member can have more
than one share and no more than fifty
shages will be issued, all of which are
taken.
The association will, as soon as spring
opens, erect three or four story bust
ness block, 66x72 feet, and containing
all of the modern improvements, such
as water supply, sewerage, elevator
electric lights, and will be heated by
steam. The building will cost about
81 900. The upper stories will be de-
voted to offices, while the first floor viii
be in one apartment for a store. The
building will be located on some con
venient corner and the two sides of the
first floor, facing the streets, will be O
glass. 1t is thought that the building
will pay good interest on the money in

He was supposed 10 have left 1t. Paul
Saturday night in charge OF the remains
of Springer HaFbaugh, but when the
train was few miles out OF 81. Paul Mr.,
Bookwalter turned up missing. The
first conclusion reached was that Mr..
Bookwalter had fallen from the train
and had been killed. Every effort was
made 10 find him, the railroad company
sending an engine and caboOse over the
line 10 get track of him If possible. All
anxiety was relieved, however, by tel
eSran from him received late yesterday
afternoon, in which he stated that he
was in Chicago, alive and we'll. de had
simply missed his train, and had taken
q train on another road.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

About the first of January the Stand
ard Cement company will begin the
erection of mill for saving sidewalk
and curbing stone. Mr.. Merrill is posi-
tive that no better material exists II
Minnesota for these purposes than or
the grounds about the cement works
and when put in operation the mill will
be run to its fullest capacity. The ca.
pacity will be about 1000 feet of sawed
material per day, and in its every ap.
pointment the mill will be made as good
as money and ingenuity can make IT.
Every appointment connected with the
establishment will be with an eye single
to facilitating time and thus reducing
the cost of the product. The expense
incurred in putting this industry into
operation will be very great, but the un.
excelled quarries and the large output
will surely guarantee the cost and afford
a good return on the capital. The con.
slant improvements made at the works
since their erection, coupled with the
starting up of this costly Industry is
self-evident that the Standard Cement
Co. is prospecting beyond expectations
and no community will be so glad tc
know this as Mankato. Our city has
certainly been favored to great degree
by this company as it has spent hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars in oul
midst, besides making for Mankato q
name that is only confined by the limits
of the globe for the excellence of hel
cement.

ROBBERY AT GOOD THUNDER

A daring robbery took place at Good
Thunder in broad daylight Tuesday.
Mr.. Chas. Sohre is proprietor of a gen.
eral store in that town and also handles
the money for certain wheat buyers,
keeping the latter in separate drawer.
A young man named Charles Bashett
tapped the drawer while the
proprietor was otherwise engaged and
secured over a hundred dollars. Bash
EFT was at once suspected, and was Sc
cured last night, and the money found
on his person. He owned up to the rob-
berry, but was released on refunding the
money taken. Later it was thought that
he had gotten off too easily, and it was
determined to prosecute him. The con-
stable, d. McGrath, followed Bashett to
tt city Wednesday morning, where he
found his man and took him back with
him. Bashett has rather bad reputa-
ton, but the constable thinks that he
will be dealt with leniently.
